Respect State Housing Laws Act

This bill deletes a CARES Act rule that required landlords in federally assisted or federally backed housing to give tenants at least 30 days’ notice before starting an eviction. If this becomes law, the federal 30‑day notice rule would end, and timing would depend on state or local laws instead .

Key points

• Who is affected: Tenants and landlords in housing that is federally assisted or has a federally backed mortgage.
• What changes: The federal 30‑day notice before filing an eviction would be removed by striking the relevant CARES Act subsection (section 4024(c)).
• When: The bill does not list a specific date; it would take effect if and when it becomes law.
